WiP - 2 : Academy 1/144 MiG-29


  Well I haven't done much in the last couple of months... well thats not entirely correct.  I have done a little bit of modelling just haven't posted it up on here... yeah I am a lazy git I know...

  Anyhow, I done some work on this little plane as it has been bugging me for ages.  I did want to get the airbrush, but the cold weather is stopping me doing that (my airbrush is in the shed, it's bloody cold in there!).  Yesterday and Today it snowed and came out at 8" deep (roughly), so I just gave up a decided to brush paint it.  I went for the colours of the MiG-29 SMT, I know the plane isn't the correct variant for it, but meh, I like the paintwork and this model is going to be a test model for new techniques anyhow.  So on with the pictures...


   Not too sure if the green works or not.  I was going for a greenish-grey and that colour is "Sea-green grey" or something like that.  However now that I look at it, it kinda works... what do you think?


   I do like these Vallejo paints, they don't come out half bad when brush painted.  Think I might add some drying retarder to them tho and it doesn't "self-level" too well on it's own.  or maybe I should thin it a little??


   I've seen a picture of this plane with just two fuel tanks, which I might copy, I got two tanks from the Frogfoot kit so I might steal them.

  Hoping to get into the loft tomorrow so I can get all my decals and stuff out of there. :)

  PEACE!
